The dastardly red Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 Apparently the baggy jean is about to become the hottest new trend. Do you think that fashion conscious gentleman will go from the slim/skinny jean directly to the new wider look or will they opt for a straight legged regular cut to see themselves through the transition in what must be a testing time for both them and their families? The jury's out for me. I've got a friend who lives in London and all I'm hearing from him is that skinny jeans are dead. I must say it's taken some time but I suppose it makes sense. He also said that tattoos are on the way out too which must be a little concerning for our inked friends. If you have tattoo and love slim/skinny jean, how do you feel about this?

I'm a fat bloke who can't walk within half a mile of a doctors surgery without someone deciding I must need yet another blood test, so getting stabbed for fun isn't for me - thus no ink. So this sounds like the dream ticket. Making it easier to buy jeans that fit (I've never entertained the skinny jean) and not being a canvas might mean I'm on point again.

Nice to hear, although I'm sure you've always been on point just by being you. Also my London friend says the shaggy hair look's going to be big this summer. Bad news for barbers I spose. I was in East London recently and there was a lot of men with big trousers and big fringes. Soon to be seen here, you know what they say "Shoreditch sneezes and Stokes Croft gets a cold" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 London and it's weird trends can piss right off, we don't need that crap in Bristol. No way will I ever again be wearing the baggies imposed on me by retailers in the '70's - thanks for the warning, I'll stock up on a few pairs of my usual jeans to see me through the next few years. Meanwhile laughing at the soft in the head baggy trousered fashion conscious loons just like I've been laughing at the unsightly regiment of beardo sheep these last few years.

I've been wearing looser jeans for a little while now, I'd never been a fan of the 'sprayed on' jeans that are ridiculously tight. They're more comfortable and I think they look better, but I'm probably in the minority on here with that view. Tattoos I'm not sure on, a lot of people I know are wanting smaller ones rather than big sleeves. Moving away from the usual roses and pocket watches can only be a good thing though.

No way would I ever wear either skinnies or baggies - fortunately there is a happy medium, for now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’d say I’m somewhere in the middle, looser fitting jeans with a bit of give without being ridiculously baggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderInACan Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Skinny jeans are OK until you try & wedge today's huge bloody phones in yer pocket. Tattoos can do one. Literally self-vandalism. Utterly utterly pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
